2010 Nissan Xterra

By

- 12/22/2010

The Xterra, aimed at younger, more active buyers, try's to blend style, toughness, and both on and off road performance. It won Motor Trends Sport/Utility Vehicle of the year in its first model year. Now in its 6th year of generation 3 continues that legacy into the new decade. It shares some parts with the Titan, the Armada, and the Pathfinder. These help contribute to the real off road prowess. Not just a vehicle for those who want to look like they've seen the outdoors, it will actually take you there. The Xterra is a viable rival to such rugged off roaders at the Jeep Wrangler and the Toyota FJ Cruiser. With its tough body on frame construction and live rear axle, little has changed since the Xterra won its second Motor Trend Sport/Utility vehicle title in 2006.

The Xterra is powered by a 265 HP 4.0 liter V-6 mated to either a 5 speed automatic transmission or a six speed manual. The Xterra may not be the smoothest riding or most plush SUV on the market, but for someone who will be spending some of their time off road further than a Starbucks parking lot, this model should be given a day in court before signing on the dotted line.

Some owners of Nissan Frontiers, Pathfinders and Xterras built between 2005 and 2010 have been experiencing automatic transmission failures due to radiator coolant leaks, according to The New York Times.

While it's not particularly shocking news that the market for body-on-frame sport-utility vehicles is shrinking, due to concerns related to fuel economy, we were surprised to hear that Nissan's Xterra SUV might fall victim sooner rather than later. Is it a good idea for Nissan to abandon the Xterra nameplate, though?

Nissan's lineup of body-on-frame SUVs and pickups may soon be smaller by one model. Citing increased pressure to adhere to stricter Corporate Average Fuel Economy standards, the Xterra could be the first casualty in Nissan's lineup, plagued by a shrinking market segment and slow sales.
